Story Transcript:

Id: Langit mendung menaungi sawah yang luas di pinggiran Yogyakarta.
En: The overcast sky loomed over the vast rice fields on the outskirts of Yogyakarta.

Id: Padi yang hijau ditimpa hujan deras, membentuk aliran kecil yang mengalir di pinggiran sawah.
En: The green rice plants were pelted by the heavy rain, forming small streams that flowed at the edges of the fields.

Id: Adi berdiri di pematang sawah dengan tangan bersilang di dada, matanya yang tegang mengamati langit yang semakin gelap.
En: Adi stood on the embankment with his arms crossed, his tense eyes observing the increasingly dark sky.

Id: Ayah Adi baru saja jatuh sakit.
En: Adi's father had just fallen ill.

Id: Sakitnya tiba-tiba dan membuat Adi terguncang.
En: His illness came suddenly and shook Adi.

Id: Ayahnya selalu menjadi pilar keluarga, terutama dalam mengelola sawah warisan keluarga.
En: His father had always been the pillar of the family, especially in managing the family-run rice fields.

Id: Kini, Adi harus mengambil alih tanggung jawab besar ini sambil memikirkan kesehatan ayahnya.
En: Now, Adi had to take on this great responsibility while also worrying about his father's health.

Id: Musim hujan ini tidak mempermudah keadaan.
En: This rainy season was not making things easier.

En: "We can do it ourselves, Putri. This is our responsibility."

Id: Putri mengerti bahwa kakaknya merasa harus membuktikan diri.
En: Putri understood that her brother felt he needed to prove himself.

Id: Ia tahu beban yang ditanggung Adi sangat besar.
En: She knew the burden Adi carried was very heavy.

Id: Hujan turun lebih deras, dan mereka berdua berlari menuju pondok kecil di tepi sawah untuk berteduh.
En: The rain poured down more heavily, and they both ran to a small hut at the edge of the field for shelter.

Id: Di bawah naungan pondok, Adi termenung, memikirkan masa depan panen yang terancam.
En: Under the hut's roof, Adi was lost in thought, considering the future of the threatened harvest.

Id: Hari berikutnya, hujan tidak menunjukan tanda-tanda akan berhenti.
En: The next day, the rain showed no signs of stopping.

Id: Air di sawah mulai menggenang.
En: Water in the fields began to pool.

Id: Adi bekerja keras, mengatur air agar tidak merusak tanaman padi mereka.
En: Adi worked hard, managing the water to prevent it from damaging their rice crops.

Id: Tetapi, cuaca tidak bersahabat.
En: But the weather was uncooperative.

Id: Bahkan untuk pekerja keras seperti Adi, ini adalah tantangan besar.
En: Even for someone as hardworking as Adi, this was a major challenge.
